Coir Doormats & Rugs

Coir mats are a must-have for any home. Outdoor mats are often the first line of protection against mud, dirt, and debris. Coir doormats and rugs consist of coarse construction to prevent these unwanted things from getting inside of your home. Welcome mats are perfect for giving your living space a personalized, unique look, as well as providing a place for your guests to clean their footwear before entering your house. Be sure to place them at any one of the entryways of your home.

What is a Coir Doormat?

If you’ve ever seen the outside of a coconut, then you may have noticed that the husk is thick and scratchy. This thick and scratchy texture makes for an ideal outdoor doormat material. A coir doormat, in many ways, has a function similar to that of a toothbrush. The purpose of this doormat is to scrub the dirt, grass, and snow from your shoes or boots.

Coir is a naturally occurring fibrous material found on the outside of coconut husks and has served many purposes throughout the years. This material is made of natural coir fibers, which resist mold and mildew while providing an abrasive scraping surface that easily cleans dirt and debris from beneath your feet. If you’re looking for a strong, renewable fiber material that is natural-colored, then you’ll love the way this mat will match any decor style in your home.

Can You Wash a Coir Mat?

Natural coir fibers are resistant to mold and mildew, but this doesn’t mean they won’t need washing every so often. Coir rugs, which are easy to care for and sustainably sourced, are a long-lasting and attractive addition to your home. Since traditional coir door matting consists of tough, bristly fibers, it should be hand cleaned only. First, try to beat or brush off as much of the visible dirt and debris as possible. Then, clean the mat using a bristle brush to clean off the remaining particles. Finally, if the weather permits, lay the doormat on a flat surface in the sunlight to dry or hang it inside of your home.

Are Coir Mats Waterproof?

Coir mats are relatively waterproof and one of few natural fibers resistant to deterioration caused by excess water and moisture. The resilient, water-repellent qualities as well as rough texture, make the material ideal for indoor doormats. With their antibacterial and antifungal qualities and natural defenses against water, stress, and salt, coir rugs are a great choice if you’re seeking sustainability and longevity.

Do Coir Doormats Shed?

One of the biggest drawbacks of coir doormats is that they can shed overtime. However, this is completely normal. Shedding can be rectified with regular vacuuming, particularly in the first couple of weeks, to prevent any loose bristles from being tracked from the surface of the matting onto the surrounding floors and carpets.
